with regard to the vaccine? I imagine they wouldn't be until after healthcare workers - but just wondering how they will be ranked in the tiered system..
The sooner teachers can be vaccinated, the sooner schools can reopen relatively normally. I agree, health care workers come first, but I hope they manage to prioritize teachers pretty soon after.
Evidence shows the Covid comes into schools - usually by adults - and doesn’t spread. So in theory, they’re not at a significantly higher risk than the general population, because there are safety measures in place in a controlled environment like school. However, I do think school is essential and so honestly... whatever it takes.
But if teachers were to get the vaccine ahead of the general population, why not all the kids who are also in schools? (If not the little kids who aren’t big spreaders, the teens?)

@Anonymous i believe Moderna included fairly young people in their sample.
Only 12 and over. We won’t have a vaccine for kids for ages
Not enough doses will be available to vaccinate everyone initially, eventually we'll get there but not first few months.
